Exciting Announcement: Introducing the NEW MDS Scheme from AstraZeneca!

We are delighted to introduce the new Manufacturers Discount Scheme (MDS) scheme from AstraZeneca, featuring a range of products aimed at optimizing medication management for healthcare providers and patients.

Details of the new scheme:

AstraZeneca MDS scheme 1st July 2024.

  • From the 1st of July 2024 AstraZeneca will partner with Forte and PSUK to deliver its Dispensing Doctor discounts through the respective MDS schemes.
  • A practice will be signed up automatically to either the Forte (all Alliance Healthcare Dispensing Doctor accounts), PSUK or both MDS schemes.
  • If a practice is signed up to both MDS schemes their sales will not be aggregated, so for the tiered schemes a practice should use one scheme only.
  • Rebate payments will be paid monthly.
